CC   -!- FUNCTION: VSG forms a coat on the surface of the parasite. The
CC       trypanosome evades the immune response of the host by expressing a
CC       series of antigenically distinct VSGs from an estimated 1000 VSG genes.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Note=A
CC       soluble form is released from ruptured cells by the action of a PI-PLC.
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
